"We would have loved to end our first Olympic campaign with a win against a much higher ranked pair," Serasinghe said in an Instagram post. "Although having said that, there are lots of good things to learn from the matches in the last three days playing against more experienced pairs. Can't wait to go back home to start training and keep on improving!"

Assuming that the food pictured is the whole of Serasinghe's post-Olympics feast, he ended up eating six medium servings of fries, four boxes of McNuggets, six brownies, three McChickens, two hamburgers, one Big Mac, and a cup of an unidentified liquid that may or may not have been a milkshake. Also there were three packets of barbecue sauce and a bottle of water.

According to McDonald's rather vague nutritional info (they don't let you differentiate between portion sizes), Serasinghe ate somewhere around 5000-6000 calories—which, for an Olympic athlete, isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things and not all that uncommon at this year's Olympic Games. It’s not a lot of calories. But all that sodium and fat have got to be killing Serasinghe right about now.
